until you find
the beginnings of
the way you pictured me.

fight the urge
to throw myself away.
my pathetic attempt at
being human

destroyed by your
unforgiving reaction to
my imperfection.

i apologize for being
less than what you
wished for.

and for having the
audacity to think
you single-handedly
caused me to
feel.

Like a child again,
just wanting validation
from someone who couldn't.
Wouldn't. Let. Themselves.
